Kid Icarus Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 On paper is this signing immediately better than even the most exciting we had under Ashley? Ben Arfa, Coloccini, and Cabaye are probably the nearest to it in terms of the profile of the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 It's an absurd bit of business from the new ownership, cracking deal for a cracking player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If all things were equal I'd say Ben Arfa then Cabaye would be the most exciting signings like. It was crazy when we signed Ben Arfa especially. Trippier is a great full back but the reason this is so exciting is because of the intent it shows as well as how it's shut down the talk from the typical morons that even with our insane wealth nobody will want to come here.

Guest HTT II Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I was excited by HBA, but hadn’t really heard of Cabaye and although I had heard of Colo I didn’t quite rate him back then. I was excited by Remy and Ba massively though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Ben Arfa was absolutely unreal, but the lead up to the signing itself was tinged with him falling out with Marseille and the feeling that it was only happening because he'd completely lost his mind. There's nothing like that with Trippier. Edited January 5, 2022 by kisearch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 You've probably just forgotten a bit tbh HTT. Cabaye had just won the league with Lille and there was a lot of buzz about him on here at the time like.

Yorkie Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Ben Arfa was easily the biggest/most exciting imo, pips this because he was an attacker and coming into his prime whereas Trippier is probably past his peak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we be as excited if we were signing him from Spurs? I can't remember how highly regarded he was on here before he went to Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have spent more, we could have risked more, especially on some big shot mercenary but this hits the sweet spot. It's big, it's ambitious, it's in a massive problem area, it ticks every box for me. It's no exaggeration to say that he could play in any CL side in the world including Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool and City and look like he belonged there. He's that good. The only reason we are getting him is because he's 31, and he wants to be back in England. "Who will go to Newcastle??" Fuck you Merse. With a fucking bowling pin.
